Pepperwood is a 3-tract neighborhood of Chandler, AZ and houses 15,558 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Cost burden runs roughly one in three against 28.4% citywide, putting Pepperwood 6.5% over its own city.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. 13% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Court records carry 1,836 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 29.8% of renter households. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,742, 8% below the Chandler average of $1,902.
Among the 34 mapped neighborhoods of Chandler, it ranks #10 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 7.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Village of Gila Springs and Avier East score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
